He Xiuyi was so scared at the words that she almost went limp on the ground, âI obviously had that scented capsule put away, and didnât bring it to Huiyi Palace at all how could it be in Her Highness the Eldest Princessâs sleeve?!â
Her accompanying maid hurriedly ran into the bedchamber and came out with an empty box at her heel, her face turning pale as she said, âYour Highness, that scented capsule is gone!â
Now there is no need to say? Must be serving HeXiuYi people out of the traitor, while they master and servant to HuiYi Palace into the bedchamber to take away the scented bag, and use do not know what method, mixed into the eldest princess of ChangXingâs sleeve!
âAlthough we donât know who did it, but if something happened to Her Highness the Princess, it may not have anything to do with this scented capsule.â Seeing He Xiuyiâs horrified look, the maid forced herself to calm down and comforted, âYour Highness, donât be anxious, the truth of the matter has not been clarified yet, maybe it has nothing to do with us at all?â
However, the maid said so, but in her heart there is not much bottom that scent bag is her hand put into the box, resting in the bedchamber on the dressing table. Since the traitor deliberately stole it and got it into the sleeve of the eldest princess Changxing, is it just to make a mischief?
Eight out of ten. Nine, is trying to let He Xiuyi top cylinder, at least is dragging He Xiuyi down!
The truth was just as the maid thought, and a few moments later, Empress Dowager caused He Xiuyi to be summoned to the Xuanming Palace to chastise her about the scented bag.
He Xiuyi was shocked, angry and afraid to explain the origin of the scent bag, as well as emphasize that he absolutely did not bring it to Huiyi Palace, and even less clear why this scent bag appeared on Changxing Princess after which Jiang Caijun and the rest of the group of people were naturally brought to Xuanming Palace for confrontation.
Talent Jiang confirmed He Xiuyiâs words, but said, âThe concubine retired and left the Qibao Palace right afterward, so I donât know what happened next.â
He Xiu Yi heard her out of the meaning of the matter, although I know that Jiang Cailian can not help her what, the heart in the end a cold, subconsciously looked up to the head of the Wei Empress she knew that Changxing Princess is the Su Empress Dowagerâs own daughter, the Su Empress Dowager a total of one son and one daughter of two biological flesh and blood, naturally, is loved as a precious treasure.
This time, the eldest princess of Changxing had an accident, how could Empress Su not hate her?
Right now, the only thing she could count on was Empress Wei, who had always been kind to her.
Empress Wei couldnât see any joy or anger on her face, and only calmly said, âWhat about the other few scented sachets made in one piece?â
The three of them, Jiang Cai Ren, were busy unpacking their own scented pouches and placing them inside the lacquered plates served up by the palace staff.
The Empress said, âLet the eunuch take a look, are there any problems with these few?â
The eunuch examined it carefully, then shook his head, âBack to Your Majesty, Your Highness, none of these three scented pouches have any traces of having been loaded with snakes and scorpions.â
He Xiuyi was shocked at the words and said offhandedly, âCould it be that Her Highness the Princess â¦?â
âA venomous snake was placed in the scented capsule on her sleeve.â Empress Wei faintly said, âThe snake revived from hibernation due to her body heat and bit her!â
There was a pause, âPoor sister, sheâs gone!â
The Empress spoke pitiful words, but she did not see any pity or sorrow in her demeanor, and lightly said, âThis matter will be investigated clearly by this palace, He Xiuyi, although this palace is also unwilling to believe that you have something to do with this matter, but the rules must not be broken. You and go with them!â
Before He Xiuyi could reply, a voice filled with anger and hatred suddenly came from outside the hall, âWait!â
Immediately, Empress Su held Fang Yuâs hand, striding in, and said sternly, âWho dares to leave before I ask?!â
Empress Wei meaningfully took a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, changed the tone of grief, said, âMotherâs mood now, daughterinlaw can understand! After all, the crown prince not long ago also suffered a sin, thanks to the great Rui ancestors blessing, only to call the crown prince survived! This will be Changxing sister even went directly! How can my daughterinlaw not know that the Queen Mother must have a broken heart?â
Speaking here and pointing to He Xiuyi, âBut Qin Wan is the person that mother personally chose to serve His Majesty in the palace, what kind of disposition she is mother even spoke about two days ago, mother you know best! So how could she plot against sister Changxing? This is definitely a frameup, even though you are eager to avenge sister Changxing, you canât frame the innocent!â
He Xiuyi subconsciously glanced at Empress Su when she heard this, panic evident in her eyes.
Empress Su smiled back in anger, âI havenât said anything yet, and the Empress has decided that Iâm here to target He Xiuyi? Or is it that the Empress canât wait for me to target He Xiuyi so that I can fulfill your wish?â
âWhat does mother mean by this?â Empress Wei took a handkerchief and half covered her mouth, her tone was aggravated, but her eyes were as cold as ice, âMy daughterinlaw is just afraid that Mother is angry, in case she does something impulsive, she wonât be able to regret it afterward!â
Empress Su sliced her teeth and said, âI regret it too much right now! I shouldnât have let my son Changxing come to salute youotherwise my good daughter wouldnât have gotten into trouble as soon as she entered Xuanming Palace!â
Empress Wei put down her handkerchief and spread her hand, regretfully said âMother said this, as if the daughterinlaw and His Majesty intentionally plotted to harm sister Changxing! This is also too call people cold, this time sister down, daughterinlaw busy these days, not long ago also specially opened the treasury to the sister sent a number of treasures to add makeup, although I know that the sister is not lack of these, at least this is what we do brother and sisterinlawâs heart is not? Daughterinlaw in order to sister drop this worry, there is no credit but also have hard work it! Motherâs anger towards daughterinlaw and His Majesty without asking any questions, this is really not in line with the style of a first mother that you showed in front of the late Emperor!â
She said here picked up the tea and sipped it, leisurely said, âBesides, there is a saying that people canât come back from the dead! Changxing sister is no longer alive, mother, you just kill the murderer by a thousand cuts, but whatâs the use of it, is not it? So ah, you might as well relax your mind, hand things over to the daughterinlaw to do, you yourself, back to Hui Yi Palace to rest or to remember Changxing sister also to stop ⦠In short, or to open up a bit! Otherwise this year, the palace has already organized a few funerals, you are also old, donât because of the death of Changxing sister also have a long and short or something, but call daughterinlaw and his majesty how to do good, right?â
Empress Su was furious to the extreme, but instead calmed down, âWei Yinjian, do you think that by harming my son Changxing and planting the evidence on He Xiuyi, you can make He Wenqiongâs heart scrupulous and fall back to your Wei family? You are dreaming!â
He Xiuyi, who was prostrate on the ground in fear, was shocked when she heard this and subconsciously clutched her handkerchief!
âDaughterinlaw originally wanted to leave a face for mother empress, after all, at least Changxing is also your own flesh and blood, the only full princess under the late emperorâs knee!â Empress Wei from the Empress Su came in, has been sitting indifferently on the upper head, not the slightest intention to get up to meet the salute to give way, at this moment, condescending to He Xiuyiâs small movements can be seen clearly, could not help but change the sitting position, sneered out, âI do not want to mother but have to tear the face!â
The Empress raised an eyebrow and said, âThen donât blame the daughterinlaw for not giving you faceyouâre saying that the daughterinlaw harmed Sister Changxing and planted evidence against He Xiuyi? This is simply absurd! Not to mention the fact that daughterinlaw has always loved He Xiuyi, and since she entered the palace until now, she has always been kind and pleasant, never treating her halfheartedly, so why would she suddenly pit her to death?!â
âLetâs just say that He Xiuyiâs grandfather, He Shangshu, is now in charge of the forbidden army, and my daughterinlaw still expects He Shangshu to be able to second my daughterinlawâs motherâs family and support King Liangâs ascension to the throne! How could He Xiuyi be moved?!â
âOn the contrary, the motherâs decisiveness is really impressive Changxingâs sleeve of the scent bag is certainly full of snakes, but she was in Huiyi Palace hovering for so long, Huiyi Palace is not without a burnt floor dragon, how then she was good and proper, as soon as she arrived at Xuanming Palace, something happened? This is simply a deliberate design by the Queen Mother in order to defame her daughterinlaw as well as His Majesty, and in order to plant evidence against He Xiuyi, isnât it?!â
The Empress said and gently applauded, âGiving up her own daughter to pave the way for her own son! Motherâs ruthlessness is truly inferior to her daughterinlawâs!â
Empress Su and Empress Wei this time is completely torn face, even the scene are not concerned you back and forth more and more quarrel more and more unseemly, has been doing the wall flower Duanhua emperor feel a little bit can not listen, however, the emperor several times to interrupt or try to mediate were ignored, and finally simply get up, whisking his sleeve away!
The emperor can throw his hands away, others do not have the courage, had to be scared to continue to listen to the two more scolding the more intense, and even many belong to the palace secrets can not be spread out are yelling out!
In the light of everyone worrying about whether or not they would be silenced, the Empress Dowager was finally alarmed and came to stop the farce herself!
It was just that the arrival of the Dowager Empress Dowager had caused the Empress Dowager and the Empress to stop arguing, but the death of the Eldest Princess Changxing definitely had to come to an end.
Not only will Empress Su never let go of the person who murdered her daughter, outside the palace, the He House is still in the joyful head of the wedding banquet, the result of the bride has not entered the door on the death of the He family or He Qian also, which can not want to have a statement?
The Empress Dowager had to beat her spirit, personally asked about the incident but this matter is really not clear for a while Hui Yi Palace side did not find a scented bag, after all, Empress Su is not good at fooling around, if early on to notice that something is not right, how could she allow her daughter to be killed; Xuan Ming Palace this side, the Empress Wei insisted on what not know. know, anyway, long Xing long princess into the hall after salute, the emperor and queen only called up, she suddenly collapsed!
As for the owner of the scented bag He Xiuyi, as well as the scented bag of Jiang Cailian, after all was said and done just a few words, really can not ask out more.
The Empress Dowager knew the truth of the matter well, it must be Empress Wei who wanted to plot against the Eldest Princess Changxing to avenge the Crown Prince and also to stop the He family from falling to the Su family.
As for the manner in which Empress Wei had laid her hands on the matter, it was not important in the eyes of the Dowager Empress; what was important was the impact that the matter would have on the court, or rather, on the battle for the throne!
So finally the dowager empress dowager said, âI am old, older, the spirit is inevitably not good! This matter, mourning a time also do not have a clue ⦠so, Changxing originally today should become the He family woman, the result is now people are gone. Although we are the royal family, we have to give the He family an explanation! Let He Wenqiong come to investigate this matter thoroughly, it is also to give him a chance to avenge his daughterinlaw!â
When Empress Su and Empress Wei heard this, they each pondered for a moment and said in unison, âI respectfully comply with the Forbidden Decree!â
And at this time the Marquis of Yan, while the attention of the imperial capital up and down are focused on the death of the eldest princess of Changxing, drove out a green curtain car, quietly disappeared in the wind and snow!
âBut I hope everything goes well for righteous sister!â In order to prevent attracting attention, Song YiXiao didnât dare to go out to see her off, estimating that Pei YouRui had almost left the Marquis Yanâs residence, before she sighed and said to Suzu, âI wonder if FanZhong will become suspicious when he receives that letter?â
âItâs just a bankerâs head!â Bell comforted, ânot to mention that Cui Nyong is earlier in the marquis in front of the waiter, since you have not less to give her face. Now it happens to be near the end of the year, you are pregnant with the body to worry about not over, so called Cuinyeo over to give you a hand, it is reasonable, that Fan Zhong do what to suspect?â
Due to the Grand Princess of Jinâs request to send Pei Yourui to Zhanshun Pavilionâs attitude is very determined, and even several times urged, Jian Xubai couple have no choice but to comply with the order so that Song Yixiao in a hurry to think of a safer method, is to write a letter to the married outside the city of the manor of Cui Nyue shouted over, and in the letter emphasized the end of the year and the day is cold, the days of the snow and roads are slippery, let her ride the car over. She was not only a good person, but also a very good person.
Cui Nyue is the palace maid of Mingren Palace origin, served Jian Xubai, so in the Yan Houfu maids are the most senior, married Fan Zhong size is also a head of the bank. She went out to get a carriage to sit naturally no problem, and also in reason, and does not lead to suspicion.
So after she arrived, Song Yixiao found an excuse to keep her in the house for a few days, but let Pei Yourui pretend to be Cui Nyue and ride out of the city.
Once we got to the secluded part of town, things got easier.
But this is a big deal, even if Pei Yourui has already left the house, Song Yixiao is still a bit uneasy.
At this moment, after listening to the bellâs persuasion, only slightly relieved, sighed, âWhat you said is this time the commission Cui misty, she is in the mansion in these few days, food and living are given to her better, donât ask her to be scared!â
Pei You Ruiâs matter of course is not to tell Cui Niao, somehow was called to Marquis Yan, and somehow was under house arrest, think Cui Niao at this moment must be very anxious.
Song Yixiao naturally had to urge the people underneath to be more attentive, so as not to make Cui Nyue scared out of her wits.
Bell tame answered, compound frowned, âChangxing Elder Princess Her Highness unexpectedly no ⦠grandmother, you say this matter?â
